How much sand is needed under an 18 foot swimming pool?
You don't use sand to level the ground that the pool sits on. The sand is used on the inside of the pool, after the ground has been leveled by taking the highest point down to the lowest point after the grass has been removed. The manufacturer's usually recommend 2" of sand on the inside of the pool before the liner is installed. It sounds like you are installing a used pool, since you do not have instructions. Here is a link to some instructions that could possibly be used. http://www.royalswimmingpools.com/install.htm

When setting up a new above ground pool will adding a gorilla bottom and also the plastic coving instead of regular sand coving help the pool last longer?
Its not a good idea to put a plastic liner under the pool. It retains moisture and rots the walls and the rail the wall is in. Your pool will not last. If you follow manufactures instructions, sand under pool and a good drainage system around the pool will make the pool last 25 years or more. Whenever water sits against the pool walls its going to eventually rot the wall and can seep under pool causing the sand to shift and then the liner will go bad.Its all sales hype about the coving and gorilla stuff...its not needed.
